<p><strong>Outwitting a hundred-year-old Russian vampire-monk, beheading rogue vampires and dealing with a creepy housekeeper wasn&#39;t what Laura Dantonville expected on her first visit to her family&#39;s ancestral home.</strong><br />
<br />
What do you do when the person you&#39;re meant to trust turns into your betrayer?<br />
<br />
Having survived torture at the hands of Rebel leader Count Timur&#39;s sadistic henchman, Rasputin, Alec sets out to end the rebellion by turning the Rebels against themselves - by giving them what they want.<br />
<br />
It&#39;s the only way to ensure a safe future for him and Laura.<br />
<br />
Laura has an engagement ring on her finger and a determination to fight to protect those she loves. Warrior-princess she may not be, but acquiring new skills with sword and dagger is giving her the confidence to face any personal threat the remaining Rebels may pose.<br />
<br />
After intercepting a message from the Rebels, the Dantonville&#39;s immediately relocate from Sydney to the safety of the family chateau in France.<br />
But apparent safety can be deceiving.<br />
A festering evil lurks within its walls.<br />
<br />
Will they discover it in time?<br />
Or will everything the family has worked for over the last eighteen hundred years be destroyed by one of their own?</p>
